INSPECTING THE LINE.
what President Wilson Says About
the u. N. q. q II. Railroad.

The private car Issaquena, drawn
by special engine, arrived at Vicks.
burg at $3.50 o'clock Thursday after.
noon, with Mr.. K. L. Wilson, presi-
dent, and Mpj ]. M. Edwards, vice
president aud general manager, oil
ihe L., N, o. Il 4. railroad on board.
They were from New Orleans, and
bound for this city. They stopped
over there and resumed their journey
yesterday morning, arriving here yes
terdsy afternoon.
President Wilson stated to q Com
mercidl Herald reporter that he was on
an inspecting tour over the line, and
intended looking at the new railroad
rerair shops being constructed here by
his road. He expressed himself very
much gratlfed with the condition OF
the read and its business. He said
that the prosperity OF the country was
evident oil along the lire, and he was
impressed with the belief that II would
continue.
OF the road he said that he felt GER
tain that no damage would be done by
the high water. The officers have
taken all necessary precautions against
a break In the leveea, and their success
is encouraging, as II gives them reason
to believe that in future any danger by
water may be prevented. President
Wilson had heard nothing from the
petition Of tho people on the Lake
Washington branch OF his road for an
extension Of the line. He had engin-
GERS in that vicinity who were looking
over the country, and who would find
the best place for the line Of the ex-
teneion to be run, and if The residents
of the country were anxious for the
road, and will assist, it will he built.
The work on the railroad shops at
Vicksburg is to be kept up, but no Of
fort to push it will be made, sB the
road will have no. use for the repair
shops for some time, and the Car shops
have already been completed. Work
men are to be kept busy all the sum-
mer, however, and the construction is
10 40 steadily on. -Four OF the twenty
new locomotives recently ordered by
the road are TO be put in service In
June. The road has 20 much new
rolling stock that the question OF re-
pairs is a very far away subject, and
one that at present is not causing the
officers sny loss Of Sleep
The gravel trains which, are carry
ing ballait for the Laplsville, New
Orlt ans and Texas track are to be
kept al work all summer, and the line
ffom Memphis to New. Orleans is to be
tallattsd. Only a email portion OF
this work will be finished this season.
The statement made by Capt. A. A..
Sharp about the increase in the length
of side tracks and the number Of
switches was eorroboiated by Presi-
dent Wilson. A very large increase
ia 10 be made rs soon "a toe business

First for IndianannIin.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, April 1.-The
first game of the ball season, an exhi-
bition game between the indianapolis
league and the Cincinnati association
club, was played here today, and more
than 1000 people witnessed it. The
air was chill and penetrating, the re-
suit of a snow furry during the morn.
ing. The Indianapolis players labored
under the disadvantage OF q lack of
preliminary training, some of the men
today appearing on the diamond for
the first time since last fall; in add.
ton the clubs full strength was not
available, Denny not having reached
the city; his position, third base, was
filled by Quinn. Tie only notable
feature Of the game was home run
by Jones, Of the Cincinnatis. The

The audience OF 800 people who
witnessed the game between the
Nashville and Memphis Clubs yester.
day afternoon, left the Park more than
satisfied. The contest was not OF the
close and exciting kind which keeps a
crowd on neitles, as the Locals out
classed the visitors at every point.
This is partially sccounted for by the
fact that the Nashville team were
largely out OF position, owing to the
illness OF one or more OF their men.
Maui, the pitcher, was also somewhat
out OF trim from lack OF practice and
railway travel.
The Memphis nine started cut with
seven runs in the fret inning, and ef.
fecsually squslched the visitors. The
effect was plainly apparent through
out the entire game, and interest,
bIimiull and running over among both
players and spectators, ran rapidly
down. The first two RUS SC )rtd we're

second game at Nashville.

is no denying its greatsuperiority over
Manager B alleys collection of play
ers. Aside tom Clinton, ]. J. Hayes,
Diestel aud Bradley, there is little
semblance of strength in the club.
Maui as pitcher has grea speed, and
may at some future day develop a GER
tain grade OF effectiveness. At pres.
ent his delivery does not puzzle the

One great drawback in the Playing
of Nashville's iavorites is the lack OF q

four players will make for a fly, and
the result is no one gets there. This
occurred more than once yesterday,
the men coming in conflict with each
other and each one stopping to give
way to the other. Another is ineffec-
